‎First edition of Courtois' important and early work on statistics, predating Quetelets groundbreaking work (Sur l'Homme..., 1842) by almost 15 years. In the present work, Courtois assembled date on various subjects such a climate, agriculture, geology and flora and fauna. There is no direct reference to pure statistical methods but this is a fine example on the usage of statistics in its early period. Courois quickly found himself in the center of the debate between Quetelets and Say's debate on the usefullness of statistical research, a debate which Courtois contributed to with the present work. Richard Courtois (1806-1835) received his doctorate in medicine in 1825 and at the same time, functioned as the deputy director of the Botanical Garden of the University of Liège. ‎
